When I started My Website About Guitars

When I started my website about guitars called Used Guitars it wasn't long afterward that I began to create more and more websites. The next music site that I made is called Music Stores and is a national directory of all the United States. Everyday many people visit the site searching for musical instruments on the Internet. But getting back to the first website that I designed which is called Riffs Guitar Sales. The idea behind designing the site was to get just a little bit of Ebays business and have them give me some doe instead of the huge mega sites. Well it wasn't long before I realized that my little site was no competition for the big ones. I finally ended up making Riffs guitar sales a free advertising site for musicians to post advertisements to sell their equipment.

It didn't require a lot of knowledge to start the website for selling used guitars. But I have to be honest, there was a guy that I purchased some paid advertisements from who practically laughed at my design. I remember that when I was not pleased with the service that I was receiving from his advertisements I canceled my contract with him. Soon afterwards I received a phone call and in the course of conversation, he proceeded to tell me that he thought that my website was the worst that he had ever seen. He did this in a very nice way and then asked me if I wanted him to build a site for me. I kindly responded and said "no thanks." I immediately began redesigning the entire thing.
